As Democrats and the GOP wrangle on Capital Hill, acting much like petulant children who take their football when they can't get their own way, we are prompted to wonder: was it better "back when". MSNBC host Chris Mathews' new book "Tip and the Gipper" takes us back to the days when Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Niell would fight vociferously but usually ended up working out a deal. On the "WATCHDOG Morning Show" this week, Mathews told me it was basically because they were both "adults" who knew they had a job to do.
